Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) has today announced several changes to its January/February racing calendar to allow for extra product to be sent to France for broadcast and wagering purposes.
HRV has received over $1million in revenue from international product in 2015 with 50 races broadcast live into France for wagering purposes.
With a minimum of 72 races to be broadcast live into France in 2016 and negotiations for more races to be sent ongoing, the financial boon for the industry is expected to surpass this year’s figures.
To allow for trots races to be beamed into Europe there have been a number of changes to programming in the coming months, which are listed below.
HRV also would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest condolences to all in Paris following the horrific incidents in recent days.
The French people are great friends of HRV and their hurt is felt by all involved in the trots in Victoria.
